That's quite likely correct. The phone is only days old, so it could be quite some time before we have a successful root. It's a rare situation where rooting is successful in such a short timeframe. Patience my son.

So I have been trying to manually root it via adb, but I can't the mtp drivers to install at all. So the commands won't send right. The root any 4.0.4 build for the RAZR sends the commands but it just say permissions denied. Anyone else being adventurous? Pointers? Scorpion_mini is its code name lol

I don't know your background on this kind of stuff, but unless you are really proficient in dev work and exploits, you won't be able to manually root it. That encrypted bootloader is no joke.

I'm keeping an eye on this thread, as I just picked up an M last night to replace my dead D2. But I think I'll wait for an SBF to be out before I root, as I like to have an escape route in case I hose anything.

Also, I've read that the Razr family has a counter that can tell if the phone's been rooted.

I will also be keeping my eye on this. My wife just picked one up last Friday and loves the phone! She is coming from the D2 as well that was rooted and had all her pink meter/icons and wants those back...lol. Hopefully someone achieves root on this very nice phone. If I didn't get rid of the DX for the GNex, I woulda switched to this phone in a heartbeat.

I don't get why they make it so painful. I mean, the percentage of people who root has GOT to be very small, and the whole point of the Android OS is to be able to do what you want with it. If I wanted this kind of a pain, I'd get an iThing.
